Gustav Nyquist - W - Detroit Red Wings
Dec. 16, 2012 - 10:20 AM ET

Look for Gustav Nyquist to get a chance to play a key role for the Red Wings if and when NHL hockey resumes.

He will get a real chance to play on one of Detroit's scoring lines which would make him quite valuable from a fantasy perspective. Wings' coach Mike Babcock has gone on record that he will have to rely on a number of players skating for Grand Rapids of the AHL once the lockout ends. Other players who will get a long look in Detroit will be defenseman Brendan Smith and Nyquist's linemates Tomas Tatar and Joakim Andersson.
